Abstract
En los últimos años se han incrementado los estudios académicos sobre los efectos de los medios sociales en la participación política convencional. Existen dos dimensiones que aparecen de manera constante en esta línea de investigación emergente: la construcción del capital social y el sentimiento de eficacia política. En el presente estudio se compara a dos grupos de jóvenes universitarios de dos diferentes países latinoamericanos (México y Colombia) en torno a sus respuestas de acciones que confirman su sentimiento de eficacia política, así como los elementos que les permiten construir capital social con la ayuda de los medios sociales. De igual manera, se lleva a cabo una relación de estos conceptos con su participación dentro y fuera de línea. Respecto a las conclusiones, no se encontraron grandes variaciones entre los dos grupos que participaron en el estudio. No obstante, los resultados confirman una tendencia que ha aparecido en otros estudios similares: la participación política dentro y fuera de línea tiene una fuerte relación entre sí, así como con los constructos de capital social y eficacia política.
Academic studies on the effects of social media on conventional political participation have increased in recent years. There are two dimensions that appear constantly in this line of emerging research: the construction of social capital and the sentiment of political efficacy. In this study, two groups of university students from different Latin American countries (Mexico and Colombia) are compared around their responses of actions that confirm their sentiment of political efficacy, as well as the elements that allow them to construct social capital with the help of the media, social. In the same way, these concepts are related to their participation inside and outside social media. Among the conclusions we found that there were no great variations between the two groups that participated in the study. However, the results confirm a trend that has been identified in other similar projects: political participation inside and outside social media has a strong relationship with each other, as well as with the constructs of social capital and political efficiency.
